jcm 2,326 Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Been looking at few of these on eBay, found that it's approx 500 a year cheaper to insure than a forester but I don't know enough about them and never drove them, how to they compare to the forester off road, they don't have a low range box like the Subaru but apparently they have a diff lock that transfers 50% of the power to the rear wheels, Are they worth a further look of is the forester a much better motor ?

dogmad riley 1,336 Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Wouldn't hurt to try one. They look like they could be useful. Alot of people slag foresters but I haven't had a problem with mine great motors, plenty of poke and are excellent off road the only down side is the ground clearance. Only had mine stuck once and that was with every wheel off the floor ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think them foresters are bang on, but the insurance is stupidly higher for me and what ever I buy will be my second motor where as the Mazda is a lot cheaper to insure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fellman Mark 604 Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 I got rid of my forester as the insurance was more than my bmw 330 for some reason ! I like the look of the Mazda more info would be good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
